Any way to "tile" a texture onto an object?

I'm using irrEdit, in which I have created some cubes (not square cubes, but walls) and applied a brick texture to them. The problem is that the texture is apparently being stretched along each side of the cube, which looks very bad on some sides of the cube.

Is there any way to have the texture "tiled" along the cube instead of stretched onto it?

How did you make the cubes? You need to define proper UV coordinates in your modeling program

I just used the "insert cube" function of irrEdit.

I forgot to mention that I'm doing all this in irrEdit.

Anyone know?

create your own cube using max/blender/etc and set the uv

You should be able to do this by applying a texture transform.

Take a look at THIS page.

Code: Select all

node1->getMaterial(0).getTextureMatrix(0).setTextureScale(sx,sy);

Instead of setTextureScale(sx,sy). I used setScale(), and it tiled the texture.

You should keep with the texture matrix methods, as they'll put the values into the proper places.

I'm not sure if you can set UV inside IrrEdit. I've never done it, what I usually do is use a modeling program such as Blender and model in there, for example a cube, and then set the cube's UV coordinate in Blender. Export the cube to obj file format and open it up in IrrEdit.
